    Our top favorite is the full dinner plate with carne asada. It's a healthy choice that fits two of us (ladies ). We are amazed by how crispy and flavorful the fries are. Pancake and chili burger are both made to order. Good quality of steak too. Very sweet server who recommends us to try their fresh blend smoothies- cool and chill with fresh and sweet strawberries Ig: socalhkfoodies

    OK, so I have eaten here before many times. It had been a while. I was glad to come back here after so long. I don't know why I waited so long to come back here, the chili was out of this world!!! My friend Joel and I came here on 3/22/25 knowing that we could possibly run into @Rainaiscrazy (IG) and to have some delicious food after both of us having a rough morning with our vehicles needing maintenance. The people that work here are so nice and make me want to come back again very soon! The restaurant looks nice on the outside and inside. The only ghetto thing about this place is the restrooms. But the food, service, and witnessing the chili cheese dog eating contest were all three great reasons to be here and overlook the restroom situation. I ordered a large chili cheese fries and a drink. I was also able to get two chili cheese dogs. I split the chili cheese fries with Joel as we both were going to other food events to eat later. I have had many chili cheese fries, hot dogs, and burgers, but this chili was so super yummy!!! We really wanted to eat more, but because of our circumstances we both had to show much restraint! Their chili here is unique, unlike any other chili I have tasted! I can't wait to come back here again and try other items... shake, chiliburger, and any other items. Definitely recommend this place as a fun spot to eat at if you're in the area of Ontario on Holt Blvd between San Antonio & Mountain Avenues. Hats off to Tom's and it's owners, workers, and partner Jimako Extreme Coffee to have a successful first annual chili cheese dog eating contest! See you all again really soon!

    Always great food. The Mexican chicken salad is my favorite! The chili fries are the best I've had. Burgers are 10/10. The customer service is great, friendly people make it comfortable to come back. I highly recommend this place over any place joint nearby! Mexican food American food Healthy options

    I've been seeing their special "Love Combo" all over socials, so I dragged my brother to try it with me lol! It was perfect timing since I was visiting the area. Parking: Plenty of spots! Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: It's a very casual spot. They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Their drive thru was poppin, and there were customers consistently coming in. Service: I didn't catch anyone's names, but they were quick & efficient. Throughput didn't take long after ordering. Food & drinks: The "Love Combo" included 2 burgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks. It came with 2 regular hamburgers, but we added on cheese. The burgers were simple yet delicious! It also came with regular French fries, but we subbed one of them for Chili Cheese Fries at an extra cost. Their house seasoning was sooo good, and the Chili Cheese Fries were mouthwatering! Now I know why it's so popular. We had to try their most popular Horchata drink. The cashier also recommended their new Strawberry Horchata Smoothie. Idk if I put too much ice, but I thought the Horchata was a bit watered down .. I really enjoyed the Strawberry Horchata Smoothie though! Pricing: They have a large menu filled with affordable foods! Especially in this inflated economy. My brother and I absolutely enjoyed everything. It was definitely worth it, and we'll be back to try their other foods & drinks!

    Love this fast food chain. How their food satisfies my cravings! I tried: 1. Chili cheese fries with pastrami 2. Chili fried burritos with pastor 3. Jimako mocha drink

    Tom's always hits the spot. Family diner style with huge portions. Checked out the Love Combo this time. This promo runs all this month where you get 2 cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks! A must try: strawberry horchata smoothie and pairs perfectly with the Love Combo. Also got a refreshingly sweet mango smoothie. Always friendly service here.

    Mexican chicken salad

    The chili fries burrito was so good, and the portion is huge! We also got the chili cheese onion rings, their chili sauce is really flavorful with a mild spicy kick. The jimako smoothies were cold & refreshing, but its definitely on the sweet side (a little too sweet for my taste). There are plenty of free parking outside the restaurant, very easy to find spaces!

    I love this place  chili is a must try

    I love coming Here to this location brings me back when I was a kid oita something about the chili and the ppl that work here where so nice and respectful 10/10 I wil be back

    They really need to remove the "World Famous Chili" from their establishment. This is by far one of the worst chili cheese fries I have ever had and that is saying a lot because I've been to over 50 places. It's my all time favorite guilty Foods to eat and I honestly wouldn't even come back here for a quick fix, it's not worth it. Chicken salad was way too salty. I came because of the hype on a Tick-Tok and honestly she should be fired for recommending this place. Just goes to show you trust the reviews which isn't very good for this place. You want a REALLY good chil cheese fries spot? Super Chili Burgers in Chino, you cbs thank me later.

    Chile cheese fries are good kinda high priced the only other items  i buy from there is the cheeseburgers and the chicken strips

    The food is a hit and miss depending on what time you get there and the service well some of the people are nice and some of them act like they hate their jobs I use to go there weekly and now I only go there every once in a while

    Burgers here are always good, came for the new breakfast sandwich and it did not disappoint! Also got chili cheese fries to share. The chili here is so good, on burgers and fried. The energy here feels like an old school burger spot. Still feels local. The service was quick and helpful, they always seem to be in a good mood. I would try the breakfast sandwiches for sure. Can't go wrong with the burgers there either.

    Chorizo burrito, my daughter enjoyed it. Gives it a 3/5 since she's used to Northgate market chorizo

There's only two entry points to the restaurant, and the roads could be fixed. The parking is located in the back of the restaurant. I had come in with colleagues to get breakfast here. All four of us had decided to order their Good Morning Burrito which came with your choice of a side, pico de gallo, and sour cream. My choice of side was their hash browns. I had also ordered a caramel latte to go with my meal. When the food came out, I was fairly excited to eat. Yet, within my first bite of the hash browns, I was immediately disappointed. It tasted like crunchy nothing. There wasn't any seasoning on their hash browns, so I had to douse it in ketchup, salt, and pepper. I then took a bite out of my burrito, and this time I was surprised; the burrito was extremely bland. No seasoning or flavor. Not even a pinch of salt. When I used the green sauce and sour cream with it, it didn't make my burrito any better. My meal was lackluster and disappointing. The latte also wasn't the best; I couldn't taste the coffee in it. I don't think I'd come back to this restaurant. The servers were sweet, but inconsistent with their billing and weren't consistent with how they talked to us and gotten our orders. Their food wasn't good and it's a bit difficult to park here. The interior was also lacking, but I can assume this place is just a regular, long term, local restaurant that has become a part of the neighborhood's routine.

When you first walk in, you could smell the delicious baked goods. They don't have a huge menu, but it's not exactly a tiny menu either. A person behind the counter was very friendly. I ordered a Carne Asada torta to enjoy there for lunch as well as a few tamales to take home. I also got one of the conchas to enjoy for breakfast the next day with coffee. A note about the torta - it was absolutely delicious. The bread to fillings (especially the meat/beans) ratio felt perfect. The bread was soft. The chopped chili and side of salsa added more acidity and flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of tortas - a long time ago (like 20 years) I think I had a string of poorly made tortas with this style of bread and I've never ordered them since. So glad I went for it here. This small place in Ontario single handedly changed my mind of what this style torta could be. I've also recently had a torta ahogada (different style bread and sauce) and loved that too. I'm kind of having a torta awakening era. The concha here was better than a lot I've had in the past too! Very soft with the slight caramelized crunch on the top. Hint of cinnamon and so good with coffee. The tamales were also wonderful and was delicious for dinner later in the same evening. I guess you can say I'm a huge fan of the food here. It really helps that the prices are more than reasonable.

They advertise as having vegan food but she didn't know which ones were vegan. I got the avocado toast and the avocado spread looked a little brown. It was really overpriced too. The avocado toast was small and with the drink the total amount for my order was $20. While I was eating it, it tasted a little off. 30 min after eating it, I started getting stomach pains and later threw up in the restroom and continued to have the runs and threw up two more times after we left. When I told the cashier I think I ate something spoiled cus I threw up, she seemed really unbothered and I had to ask for a refund. Her coworker, instead of providing a refund, a young rude girl with stickers on her face, proceeded to give me attitude and blame it on my diet (?) because I ordered THEIR vegan avocado toast. She seemed suspicious of me saying their food made me sick. She also said she'd been working here for 4 years and never had issues with their avocado. Like I'm just telling her what happened.. but she felt the need to get defensive and blame it on me. Such rudeness and unprofessionalism instead of acknowledging that something may have gone wrong with the food, provide a remedy or offer an apology. The food didn't even taste that good and my friend wasn't impressed with his food either. Do these young people not understand the meaning of customer service? If not, don't work in customer service. Having basic decency and not acting like a brat would be a good start.
